Brock Lesnar was originally set to face former WWE Superstar

Brock Lesnar dominated WWE under Vince McMahon's creative leadership for several years before the latter retired. However, Lesnar was in a handful of questionable storylines and matches during his tenure.

Speaking on Reddit, former star Mace revealed scrapped plans of a match with Brock Lesnar during a time when he was a color commentator for Monday Night RAW:

"Ha. So when it happened they told me I’d just be back on commentary next week. Then they told me (as I was boarding a plane to the UK) that I would be selling it for a week. Then another. Then another. Then they said they were going in a new direction with the commentary team."

Unfortunately, Vince McMahon scrapped the idea:

"The tweet was me desperately trying to not get sent back to the PC like Mufasa falling to his death. Although as I understand it, a match was discussed, but Vince said it would be confusing to the audience because they didn’t know I wrestled. I was later told they changed directions because I was too big for commentary so I eagerly awaited my big push😏"

Luckily, the match was canceled, and Mace joined factions such as RETRIBUTION and Maximum Male Models before leaving WWE.
